4. Holy Cow 60K have responded!

Billings Montana is in the middle of nowhere and has a puny readership yet 60 thousand people have responded to that poll. The fact that the people took the time to vote in an otherwise insignificant site proves that there is some real monkey business seeing that 50% voted its no big deal -- we like corruption! Mind blowing!

GOP urges members to 'vote early and often' in online poll

By MATT GOURAS
Associated Press

HELENA - The state Republican Party asked supporters Friday to influence a newspaper's Internet poll that posed a question about Sen. Conrad Burns and lobbyist Jack Abramoff, hoping to sway the unscientific survey's results.

A GOP spokesman said the party was responding to what it saw as a curious jump in anti-Burns responses it thought may have been fueled by opposition groups.

The online poll by The Billings Gazette asked: "How concerned are you about Senator Burns' relationship with indicted D.C. lobbyist Jack Abramoff?" Readers could respond with "very concerned," "somewhat concerned," "not too concerned," "not at all concerned" or "not sure."

12. So 50% are OK with having a Senator who sells them down river?

They find it acceptable that the Senator will accept bribes to vote for what is not in his constituents best interest.
He who has the most money gets the best deal?
